Rays' Ha-Seong Kim: Activated From IL

  • On July 3, 2025, the Tampa Bay Rays reinstated Ha-Seong Kim from the long-term injured list as they prepared for their game against the Minnesota Twins on July 4.
  • Kim sustained a right shoulder labrum tear while diving into first base in August 2024, underwent surgery in October, and missed the remainder of the 2024 season.
  • The Rays cleared a spot on their 40-man roster for Kim by designating pitcher Forrest Whitley for assignment and sending Curtis Mead down to their Triple-A affiliate in Durham.
  • In February 2025, Kim, 29, agreed to a fully guaranteed contract with the Rays worth $29 million over two years, including a $13 million salary for the current season and a $16 million player option for 2026.
  • Kim's return bolsters the Rays' roster in a tight American League East division and could prompt him to opt out for a long-term deal if he performs well.
